rio2016man 11 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 The entire area around the B&W Hallerne will be transformed into Eurovision Island Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ikarus360 607 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Interesting. It would had been nice to see another city besides Copenhagen to host, but at least it's not the Parken Stadium again. Many still have dreadful memories of the echo it produced back in 2001.

markun 74 Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Me too! I'm really excited. I understand why people in Jutland are annoyed but to showcase Denmark to the world I think Copenhagen is the best option. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Olympian2004 511 Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 So they'll have an outdoor stage again, but this time not surrounded by the stands of a stadium? Is it just me or could this mean that the acoustics could be even worse than in Parken? It will be interesting to see how they'll do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yoshi 353 Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 2014 rules released, jury rules tightened. Juries will have to be named (& shamed lol) on the broadcast, & the individual ranking of each jury member will be publicly released. (I've forgotten to copy the link doh, just google Eurovision, the rules will be on the Eurovision.tv website) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scotguy 330 Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Couple days ago Croatian national broadcaster stated that we won’t see their representative in Denmark. They said that it is due to the financial crisis, but that is such a valid excuse. San Marino and FYR Macedonia are smaller countries and they already have not just confirmed their performances, but also chosen their representatives. Many people who work at HRT expressed their dissatisfaction regardless the decision. Also several Eurovision related artists joined them, but the most disappointed are the fans. One more decision has to be made by HRT and that is if they will air the Grand Final of next year’s show, but if they want to return in 2015 they surely have to do it.

yoshi 353 Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 The first of the ex-Yugoslav countries to throw their toys out the pram after they all got knocked out in the semis in Malmö. I fear they might not be the last Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scotguy 330 Posted September 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Turkey did it! After refusing to take part to Eurovision Song Contest in 2013, and most certainly in 2014, TRT has lauched it’s very own contest, Türk Vizyon. Today, Azerbaijani duet and Eurovision 2011 winners Nigar & Eldar officialy launched the new concept. Up to 20 countries and regions who share a common Turkic culture will participate in this brand new contest. The show has no connection with EBU or the Eurovision Song Contest but presents several similarities (song contest, two semi-finals, not to mention the name or the fonts of the logo). The very first edition of Türk Vizyon will take place on December 19, 21 and 23 in the 2013 Turkic world capital of culture, Eskişehir. http://oikotimes.com/2013/09/22/trt-turns-desperate-with-turkvizyon/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yoshi 353 Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 WHAT???? Does this mean countries in the East will be "pulled" away from ESC & we'll end up with "Western" & "Eastern" contests? It's like the Cold War never ended... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ikarus360 607 Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 ^^ Nah, it seems just the Turkic ones will do this shenanigan. I don't think it's safe to say all of the Eastern European countries will skip it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LDOG 72 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 This contest is crap and is rigged as f*ck. -Always the same countries make it to the final. -Everyone can predict the winner months before the contest. -Blatant buying of votes (e.g. Azerbaijan buys Malta every year and no one does anything about it) -The music just keeps getting worse and worse.

StefanMUC 705 Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Esc is like the Olympics: There have been some dubious thing happening (and Azerbaijan does deserve an honorary mention there), but the governing body (EBU like IOC) doesn't really seem to have the will or care to make changes to keep the competition attractive in some of its main markets.
